A girl freed more than two years after she was abducted by terror group Boko Haram has arrived at the presidential palace in the federal capital of Abuja, where she will meet President Muhammadu Buhari. Amina Ali,19, was rescued by a member of the army-backed vigilante group, Civilian Joint Task Force (JTF) in the Sambisa forest in Borno state, northeastern Nigeria.

Ali, from the Mbalala village, was found with a four-month-old baby. The army said in a statement the girl was rescued along with a man, Mohammed Hayatu, who claimed to be her husband. It is suspected Hayatu is a Boko Haram member.

Ali is one of the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped by the terrorists as they were attending evening school in the Chibok village on 14 April 2014. Shortly after the kidnap, reports emerged alleging that the girls had been sold as slaves, smuggled into neighbouring countries, or forced by terrorists to carry out suicide bombing missions.

Ali is the first Chibok girl to be rescued, amid reports the other schoolgirls could also be in the Sambisa forest, near the border with Cameroon.

In the latest attack blamed on the group, two police officers were killed in a suicide bombing mission on 12 May in Borno state.The group, however, claimed at least 15 people were killed in the blast. On 15 May, the UK pledged £40m ($57.44m) to help Nigeria in the fight against Boko Haram during a regional security summit in Abuja.

Who are Nigeria's Boko Haram terrorists?

Boko Haram, which has renamed itself Iswap, fights against Western influence in Nigeria and aims to impose its version of Sharia law throughout occupied territories.

The group carries out attacks in Nigeria and neighbouring countries in a bid to take control of more territory. Three Nigerian states − Adamawa, Borno and Yobe − have been under a state of emergency since May 2013.
